My wife insisted I name mine. I thought of being literal and naming it "Carmine", but went with Riley. No reason other than I like the name and my Civic and I will be livin' the life of Riley.
After one tank of gas, I'm sitting at 34.5 MPG in mixed traffic. It was 4.8 MPG when I got the car and has been going up ever since. I expect it to go higher as I burn though the second tank of gas. 2.0 NA engine, EX sedan without sensing.
I just filled up my Civic for the first time. Thanks to the info from this forum, I made sure I inserted the nozzle fully, let it sit for at least 10 seconds after it clicked off, and pulled it out slowly and carefully. Didn't spill a drop. This forum rocks!
My EX hasn't had any issues. Although I haven't made it through my first tank of gas yet.

I was on the fence between the EX and the EX-T. I got the EX. The only thing I really thought I wanted in the EX-T was the turbo, but after test driving both cars I realised that the EX was fine for me - it has better accleration than the 2002 Accord I've been driving. I think the two of us will...

As of March 3 2016 I have seen one new Civic. One. In Dallas, driving back and forth across LBJ Freeway 26 miles each way to work and back. If nothing changes, in approximately three months I will be number two (you may commence with the number two jokes).
EDIT (June 11 2016): Someone in my...
My initial thoughts on seeing the new Civic was that I'd like one in Burgundy with a black interior. Unfortunately, Honda doesn't allow it. They allow only the following:
Cosmic Blue / Gray
Aegean Blue / Black
Burgundy / Ivory
Black / Black or Ivory
Silver / Black
Steel / Black of Gray
Red /...
58 and plan to get a Civic Touring sometime in the next few months. I've driven Accords most of my life (except for a brief dalliance with a Mitsubishi Galant years ago) but these days almost all of my driving is solo so I'm looking to downsize just a tad and get better MPGs. All that's...
